Tribal art


 Warli art on a wall in the Mumbai University Kalina campus.

Warli art is an ancient tribal folk art from Maharashtra, India, traditionally created by women on mud-walled huts using white rice paste. Dating back as far as 2500–3000 BCE, this style uses basic geometric shapes—circles, triangles, and squares—to depict daily life, nature, and community rituals.

Full moon


A full moon shot in Bandra. One from my archives. I liked the leaves on top like a tuft of hair.

Kala Ghoda

The name Kala Ghoda is a reference to the presence of a black stone statue of King Edward VII (as the then Prince of Wales) mounted on a horse that was built by Jewish businessman and philanthropist Albert Abdullah David Sassoon, although this statue was removed from the precinct in 1965 and subsequently placed inside the Byculla Zoo. A local legend stated that the statues of King Edward and the one of Shivaji on a horse at the Gateway of India came to life after midnight and battled it out on the streets.[3] In 2017, the 'Kala Ghoda' returned to the area with a new statue of a similar looking horse without a rider, being commissioned by the Kala Ghoda Association. The statue, titled 'Spirit of Kala Ghoda' was designed by architect Alfaz Miller and sculpted by Shreehari Bhosle. Ref: Wikipedia

Sufiyan


Signage behind the autorickshaw. 'Sufiyan' is an Arabic origin name meaning devoted, pure or pious.

Below that is written 'Dekho magar pyaar se' in Devanagiri script. It translates to 'Look, but with love.'
